Keep it up Chicago! www.erininthemorning.com/p/chicago-pu...

I'll follow anyone who makes this call today! Comment that you've done it and why supporting higher Ed is important and I'll read all of your skeets forever ♾️

If you're serious about standing firm against attacks on academia, then now is the time to support one our most important allies: The TRIO McNair Program: helping underrepresented, first-gen, and low income enter research based gras programs. Call your reps #academicsky coenet.org/protect-the-...

“It is a time to resist injustice that now threatens to be normalized by those who capitulate, sometimes in advance, to bullying tactics of extortion at the expense of basic standards that govern shared governance" -Butler www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm downtown in beautiful downtown Chicago. All we need to be safe is to get ice and troops out of our city.

Someone asked me what victory against the forces seeking to occupy Chicago looks like. Obviously, those forces being repelled is the goal, but there are layers to what success looks like in these deteriorating conditions. The first is to successfully resist the normalization of military occupation.

It's great to be back in the classroom at UIC Sociology today! Excited to learn from a whole new group of students 🤓

All of us who live here in Chicago know that our city _does not need_ the national guard or _any_ federal interference. Just like DC residents knew before their police department was messed with. #chicago #pritzker #noice

Really excited to be working on _another_ incredible paper with @msoma.bsky.social He's presenting it at this conference, check it out!

Balthazar is thinking about Structural sociology. It looks delighted.

Threatening to criminalize one of Ireland's most successful writers for caring about Palestine pretty much guarantees that half of Ireland will find a way to shove this back in the face of the UK government. If they go through with it, they will face a level of piss-taking they've never seen before.

Sociology in a Time of Monsters. (Thinking of that as a subhead for teaching in the next few years)

Wow, the Chicago river is sparkling today! So excited that our city gets to host #ASA2025

Wow, looks like a party! Maybe I'll have to stop by toda~

Hello from #ASA25! So excited to have so many lovely sociologists in my city! Welcome 🤗

I know I'm a few days late here, but is it possible that going up on the roof is the best thing 47 has done in his second term?

This is one of the key reasons that democrat centrists trying to pivot away from identity politics (as if that were somehow an option) is so dangerous.

Who's the fifth sociologist?! It's not me! I'm happy for other people to have their genders, especially if it makes their buttfucking hotter!

So many studies use intelligence as an outcome, but where is the research about how to improve wisdom at the population level?!

"Any shoe store that doesn't carry women's shoes above size 10, you're being transphobic" - Jinkx Monsoon Preach, can I please get some size 11s of cute shoes!?

This is amazing! Yay for the river Test. I wonder what they'd like for their birthday 🎂?

I was just in Spokane this weekend, and it is beautiful there. I also ate really excellent frybread (from Indigenous Eats). Oh, and there's a sociology job there at Gonzaga!

Yes! So grateful for my collaborators who make sure our qual methods are tight! It's hard, but it's where my mixed-methods projects make their best insights!

Given what we know people associate crime with, this misperception is part of a bundle of perceptual errors which serve to naturalize racism (and probably transphobia).

What a cool opportunity!!

So many folks putting sociology classes in their responses here (mine was probably symbolic logic or ceramics)! It makes me feel great, but then I wonder why those folks didn't major in sociology?

Spent a few nights at this lake in the southern part of Glacier National Park as a break from the academic. I'm back at work now and part of me wants to have stayed.

Racism against white people is not and has never been a thing. Zero white people are oppressed because they are white. Unlike ALL other races, white people encounter zero race-based obstacles. Further, every white person enjoys automatic, unearned benefits—because they are white; no other reason.

Overhead in a Seattle park: Three early teens walking together, one says "Can we teach Jalen how to walk? Look at his walk! Why does he walk like an NPC?!?" And now I'm worried that I probably walk like an NPC, whatever that means.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Throwback bike grocery trip: pausing on my way home in 2018. I got ortliebs in 2019 so now I can carry even more! #bikegroceries #bikecommute

If you want to know what's up in computational social science (and beyond) this is where to look: #sociology #css #dh

Such dire news today and yesterday about how the president is using his power -- some of it technically legitimate -- to silence his political enemies, with special focus on people committed to telling the truth.

Note also that the lawsuit alleges that because race and class are correlated, providing free tuition to lower income students is also racial preference. They just want a pure aristocracy of inherited wealth

Another sociology job, y'all!

There are incredible folks up at the University of Toronto in Sociology, and they're hiring!! Check it out ~

How often do you see papers that suggest easy policies that could reduce electoral misinformation? Here's one I worked on with a great team out of UW and led by @morganwack.bsky.social and @schafer.bsky.social

Was having a convo below and realized it's been just over 20 years since I started testosterone (June, 2005). Transitioning is among the best decisions I've ever made for myself, below asking my spouse to marry me (top spot) & having our awesome kids, and just above doing a sociology PhD.*

This is how we do it enby friends www.reddit.com/r/NonBinary/...

This was a great paper to work on and makes an actual policy-relevant causal analysis about how to reduce some forms of election related misinformation! #academicsky #polysci #sociology #policy #stopmisinformation

Love to see this, excited to read this article!
